Hi All,
If I wanted to get Freesat, is installing the dish a task for a fairly
competent DIYer.
Yes.
Any hints or tips ?
Install a quad LNB. You'll need one when you decide you need a second
receiver (or a PVR) at a later date.
http://www.satcure.co.uk/accs/page2.htm is a good site with lots of useful
info.
Is alignment a problem ?
No. So long as you use common sense. A sat finder meter (cheapo is fine)
helps; but Freesat box will have a built in signal meter so long as you can
view a TV while adjusting the dish.
Adjust azimuth/elevation for maximum "signal strength". Rotate LNB for
maximum "signal quality".
